Current disruptions
From 13 July until the end of August 2026 the U3 is split in two: it runs between Ottakring and Hütteldorfer Straße, and between Simmering and Westbahnhof. The stations Johnstraße and Schweglerstraße are not served by the U3 during this period; a replacement bus (line E3) operates instead.

The annual pass no longer costs €365
Since 1 January 2026 the annual pass costs €467.00 (€461.00 if you buy it digitally). We explain the price, how to renew and cancel it, how to buy tickets in the WienMobil app — and why Vienna has no stored-value travel card.
How much does the Vienna U-Bahn cost?
What about the U5?
The U5 is not in service yet. Civil works on the first stage (Karlsplatz – Frankhplatz) are being completed, but in November 2025 the opening was pushed back to 2030: the U5 will only start once the U2 is diverted at Rathaus towards Matzleinsdorfer Platz. It will be Vienna’s first fully automatic, driverless line.
